Chapter Fifty-Seven: Preemptively Registering "Nine and a Half"!
The first two of these three tasks are not particularly large, but considering that Bayern themselves are Bundesliga giants, and he joined the team halfway, such rewards are also reasonable.
If it's the same quest next Season, the rewards will most likely be higher.
The reward for the third task suddenly increased several times, Wu Jie knew what the reason was, this would be the first round of the Champions League, Bayern defeated the "Aschaffenburg Victoria Team" of the Bavarian Football Regional League 5:1 over two legs.
The second round of Champions League fixtures will not start until February, and Bayern's draw has already been announced, this time against Swedish giants Malmo.
Swedish football is not first-class in Europe, and the strength of the domestic league is also average, but Malmo's strength should not be underestimated, they also reached the Champions League final three years ago, and they have been sucking the blood of their own teams to strengthen themselves in recent years, and their squad is basically half of the Swedish national team.
Such teams were not bad before the introduction of the "Boseman Act", because these teams were equivalent to absorbing the excellent resources of their own countries, but the giants of the four major leagues were not easy to poach from them, so there was a thing that Ajax of the Eredivisie won the Champions League for three consecutive years in the early seventies, which is actually a few geniuses in the Netherlands during this period.
In addition, we have to mention the Champions League before the 90s, which was a pure cup competition until the 91-92 season, and only the top league champions of 31 European regions could participate, plus one of the previous champions.
If the previous champion is also the first place in the league, the second place team will still not be able to participate, and the champion team will receive a bye in the first round.
At this time, the Champions League insists that only the champions of each league can participate, and then it is all up to luck to draw lots, the first four rounds of matches are played in a two-legged home and away system, and the final is decided at a neutral stadium, and the champion and runner-up teams play a maximum of 9 games!
Such a format is actually uniquely appealing, and it is likely to see the champions of the four major leagues, including the Eredivisie and Ligue 1, meet in the first round.
Of course, there are also examples of good luck who have not faced a strong team until the final, Malmo was one of them three years ago, and Aston Villa two years later also did not meet a strong team all the way, and finally upset Bayern in the final.
Bayern's luck this time is neither bad nor bad, the Bavarian team they drew in the first round is weak, but the Malmo team they met in this round is not bad, and they don't want to enter the next round without going through a fight.
Wu Jie took out the schedule that Kramer gave him at this time and looked at it, Bayern now has three games to play, namely the Bundesliga, the fourth round of the German Cup, and the second round of the Champions League.
Bayern have three Bundesliga games in February, at home to Fortuna Dusseldorf on the 7th, Schalke 04 away on the 14th and Bielefeld on the 21st.
The Champions League is played away to Malmo on the 10th, and the second leg is back at home on the 26th.
At this time, the format of the German Cup was also different from later, the fourth round was a 16-8 match, the same home and away two-legged, their opponent was Hertha Berlin, the first game was No. 2, and the second game was No. 18.
Wu Jie can calculate from this schedule that Bayern will play seven games in February, of which the league and the Champions League must be fully committed, and the German Cup should be rotated.
Hertha Berlin is another team that was relegated from the Bundesliga last season, and their performance in the Bundesliga this year is also average, and the quality gap is not small with Bayern, so the rotation is enough to beat them.
"Looks like I'm going to have a chance to play right away!"
Wu Jie knew that Bayern spent so much money to buy him, it was impossible to let him sit on the cold bench, and the No. 2 game against Hertha Berlin was likely to make him come off the bench in the second half.
It's only been a few days and he's going to have to do well in training.
He guessed correctly, of course Chernay wants to see what he really does, but he doesn't have to wait for the No. 2 game, he can also watch it in training.
The next day, the last day of January.
Head coach Chernaui conducted a 45-minute intra-squad training match, and Wu Jie was naturally able to play, and half of his blue team was Bayern's main team.
Bayern players are also interested in him, but everyone is not familiar with his style and characteristics, and now they only know that he is very fast, so he passes the ball with a lot of advance or plays a straight ball behind him.
Wu Jie lived up to expectations, not long after the start of the training match, he used his speed to force the team's main left-back Wolfgang past through a long pass from captain Breitner at the back.
And that's not all, as he dribbled to the 30-metre area in front of goal before being intercepted by the team's main sweeper, Hans Weiner.
Hans Weiner's interception ability and his anticipation of the tackle were excellent.
But in the face of Wu Jie's "bulltail outstanding", this excellent prediction made him more straightforward.
Wu Jie used a move that stunned all the Bayern players to get past Hans, and hit the ball directly into the bottom left corner of the goal with a powerful shot into the penalty area, and the old goalkeeper Manfred Muller could only symbolically stretch out his hand.
"This is the oxtail?"
Chernay was smiling on the sidelines, he already knew about this action from the video that Kramer had brought back, but he didn't expect it to work so well, and the experienced Hans was completely powerless.
"That's right, it's a technique invented by Brazilian star Roberto Riverino, and this guy said he wouldn't teach it until he retires, but he must not have expected that his trick would be learned by a little guy in Asia, even better than him."
Kramer has already studied this move, Wu Jie has only been used by the Brazilian Roberto before, but he will not teach it to others until he retires, and he never thought that it would be figured out by Wu Jie, who is far away in China.
The most incredible thing is that after he watched Roberto's "Oxtail Superiority" from the video, he could clearly see that Wu Jie's movements were more clean and neat, not dragging mud and water at all, and the confusion was stronger, which can be said to be out of the blue.
Chernay nodded, he already had a strong confidence in Wu Jie from this goal, this kid is not only amazingly fast, but his skills are still a great threat to the Bundesliga.
The two people he just passed are not only Bayern's main defenders, but also players of the German national team.
"Wu, what kind of person are you?"
Hans was not interested in Wu Jie, but he didn't dare to underestimate this Asia's No. 1 striker anymore, and immediately found Wu Jie after he was passed, with a question mark and surprise on his face!
"Wu, your speed is too fast!"
Wolfgang was also selected for the national team not long ago, and he is usually very confident in his speed, but he didn't expect to be overtaken by Wu Jie from the outside, which really shocked him.
"Wu, are you Roberto's extraordinary move?"
Captain Breitner also ran over, he has played two World Cups, can be said to be well-informed, so he recognized this action, but he was still a little uncertain in his heart, because Wu Jie's movements were smoother than Roberto's.
"That's right, I also happened to see him use this trick from the video, so I figured it out myself."
Wu Jie didn't blush at all, and immediately labeled himself as a self-taught genius.
"Amazing, I heard that few Brazilians have learned this trick, but I didn't expect you to learn it."
"Wu, your dribbling is also very good, I saw you sprint with the ball at high speed just now, and the speed has not slowed down much."
"You deserve to be the No. 1 striker in Asia, I underestimated you before."
"Karl (Rummenigge), now you have an opponent."
Bayern players were full of praise for Wu Jie's performance, and his solo breakthrough made his teammates completely recognize his level.
But trouble soon came, and Marty still didn't like Wu Jie very much, and actually subconsciously resorted to a plan to sow discord.
Rummenigge frowned when he heard this, he was assigned to the red team in the match, and he originally wanted to come up and praise Wu Jie, but he felt uncomfortable when he heard this.
"Don't look at me so tall, in fact, I play in the national team in a fuzzy position between striker and midfielder, I have more assists than goals in the World Championships, strictly speaking I am a number nine and a half player, any striker and midfielder can be perfectly compatible with me!"
Wu Jie, of course, is bragging about himself, and by the way, he shamelessly registered the concept of "nine and a half".
Also, he obviously scored 9 goals and 8 assists in the World Preliminaries, which is simply fooling people.
But Rummenigge frowned when he heard this, especially when he heard that Wu Jie had more assists than goals in the World Preliminaries, which made him feel a lot more relaxed.
Naturally, the Bayern players were surprised again, they had never heard of the concept of "nine and a half", but it sounded like a powerful one.
